BUILD YOUR PARTY AROUND A THEME
Maybe a Sex And The City Party where your guests come dressed as their favorite character. Offer drinks such as Carrie's Cosmopolitan, Charlotte's Vodka On The Rocks, Samantha's Dirty Martini and Miranda's Manhattan's. You wouldn't want to shop on an empty stomach! What would Carrie and the girls eat when it's "girl's night in"? Takeout of course, and the food of choice? Chinese food.
CARRIE'S COSMOPOLITANS
3 ounces Absolut Citron vodka
½ ounce triple sec
Splash of cranberry juice for color - pink!
Squeeze of lime wedge
Pour all ingredients into a mixer over cracked ice. Shake and pour into martini glass.
CHARLOTTE'S VODKA ON THE ROCKS
2 ounces vodka.
Pour over ice.
SAMANTHA'S DIRTY MARTINI
3½ ounces vodka
½ ounce vermouth
½ ounce olive juice
Chill over ice in mixing glass, stir, and pour into martini glass. Add olives for garnish.
MIRANDA'S MANHATTANS
2 ounces of rye whiskey
½ ounce of sweet vermouth
cherries
drops of bitters
Chill and shake in mixing glass with plenty of ice and pour into drinking glass.
For a more cosmopolitan theme, perhaps try a Breakfast At Tiffany's Party complete with Audrey Hepburn style sunglasses, long black gloves, tiaras and of course martini glasses filled with blue jellybeans. Drinks might include anything blue, Anything breakfasty (is that a word?), would work for munchies, croissants or maybe a fruit display with a tasty fruit dip inside a honeydew melon.

I often enjoy my cosmopolitans on my veranda. Seeing and listening to the mellow ocean waves and feeling the warm air on my naked body. Feel free to leave a comment and any suggestions on my blog. Kiss-Kiss, Gemma
